Try Something New - SumMore Fun Challenge #19

For the new challenge at SumMore Fun (Victorine Originals) it is to try something new: a new technique, a new style, new products, so I went all out and did all three. I pulled out my alcohol inks and some Yupo paper. I used Wild Plum, Stream, Purple Twilight and Silver Mixative and let the blending solution do the work. It was fun to watch the inks mix and create. I let it dry overnight and the next day I cut down the piece with a die from my craft room, I popped up the piece with fun foam and then die cut the next size up out of black card stock and popped that layer up with more fun foam. I then put all the layers on an A2 sized white card base. I did not want to take away from the beautiful colors and wanted the sentiment to stand out so I stamped the Happy Birthday (2871-H) in versamark ink on clear vellum and then heat embossed with Nuvo Glitter embossing powder in Glitter Noir.

I then used a little vellum tape runner on the corners of the cut down vellum and attached the sentiment to the front of the card. I finished it off with some sequins in different sizes in a royal blue, silver and marshmallow. This card has lots of color, layers, dimension and different techniques and products that I had so much fun with. I look forward to seeing what you create and have you join in with us over on the blog.
Until next time.
